Abstract [en]

Objectives: The aim was to define the characteristics of successful implementation of new clinical endodontic routines within a public dental health organization, following an educational program. Materials and Methods: Fifteen staff members were strategically selected for the interview. All had completed a theoretical educational intervention including a complementary endodontic treatment strategy and, for the dentists, comprising training in the nickel-titanium-rotary-technique. All experienced the successful acceptance of new clinical routines. Two thematic in-depth audiotaped interviews were conducted, wherein the informants described the implementation process in their own words. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to Qualitative Content Analysis. Results: A theme was identified: A multiple flexible process with governance support and gradual reinforcement of motivation, with the following main categories: Firstly, contextual facilitation, with two subcategories (i) a multifaceted organizational foundation and (ii) a tolerance of flexibility. Secondly, emotional facilitation, with two subcategories (i) an experience of simplification and (ii) an experience of improvement. Conclusion: The results improve the understanding of a multifaceted process underlying the acceptance of changes to clinical endodontic procedures by dentists in a public dental health organization. Important contributing factors identified were governance support, a committed resource person with contextual knowledge, tolerance of flexibility in implementation, and permissive informal communication channels within the local workplace. These findings might be a valuable contribution to an evidence base, facilitating the selection of the most appropriate educational strategy and structure for a specified purpose.
